Hi everyone,

We had an incredible WDP 10 at New Holly, with over 250 people in attendance. It was a packed room, and the Somali, Zumba, Bachata, Israeli, Hip-Hop, Salsa, Samba, Bollywood, and line-dancing instructors did not disappoint. Thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who helped to make the event possible. And the food you all brought was delicious! Here’s a picture below. See more on our Facebook page.

WDP at Folklife totally awesome

Hi everyone,

We had a blast, holding our 9th WDP at Folklife. Thank you to our instructors (Eberley, Flamenco; Angela, Belly Dancing; Magnus, West African; The Sliders, line dancing; D’Vorah, Israeli dancing; and Patrick, Swedish). Tons of people showed up. Here’s a video:

WDP may take a break during the summer, doing background stuff like applying for funding to do more WDPs next year, and adding the WDP touch to other events like the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition’s Festival on August 17th and the Othello Park Festival on Sunday August 19th.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make our 9 WDPs so far so much fun. See you again soon.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHi everyone,

Sorry we haven’t been updating this blog very often. But that’s because we were planning WDP9, which is taking place at Northwest Folklife! Please invite your friends, family, and/or colleagues — we will be featuring dance instructors who have been a BIG part of the WDP community. We are listed on the list of “28 Great Things to See at Folklife this Year.”

Date: Saturday, May 25th, 2013 @ 1-3pm
Location: Armory, Seattle Center
What: Learn 6 multicultural dances and dance with the very BEST from the South Seattle/Rainier Valley community!

*Hip Hop
*Flamenco
*Hora
*Belly Dancing
*Sliders (line dancing)
*West African

This one is a little different than most WDPs we’ve had, but we know it’ll be fun. (When has a WDP not been fun?!). We hope to see you there.

WDP spreads to Shoreline!

On Friday 3/22, Shoreline had their first WDP. Some of us from WDP Seattle dropped by to check it out, and were astonished at how awesome WDP-Shoreline was! The Flamenco, Bollywood, West African, and other dances, were so much fun. The room was PACKED. Totally amazing work, Shoreline! We’re so glad to see WDP spreading around to other cities. We’re looking forward to the next WDP-Shoreline. Here are some videos:

West African

Bollywood. Skip to :55 to see some awesome moves by a couple of kids!

Not sure what that was called, but it was fun!

Flamenco!
